Recommended CPU is based on moderately complex games but games that pushed the PS2 hardware to its limits will may struggle on CPUs even at this levelspecially with software mode<ref group=N2 name=CPUintensive>[https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Category:CPU_intensive_games CPU-intensive games (PCSX2 wiki)], [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-LIST-The-Most-CPU-Intensive-Games CPU-intensive games (PCSX2 forum thread)] and [https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Category:Software_rendering_only_games Software rendering only (PCSX2 wiki)]</ref> but on the other hand some release titles and 2D games which underutilized the PS2 hardware may run on CPUs rated as low as 1200PassMark Single Thread Performance rating.

Recommended GPU is based on 3x Internal, ~1080p resolution requirements. Higher resolutions will require stronger cards; 6x Internal, ~4K resolution will require a [https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html PassMark G3D Mark] rating around 12000 (GeForce RTX 2060, Radeon RX 6600 or Intel Arc A750). Just like CPU requirements, this is also highly game dependent.<ref group=N2 name=GPUintensive>[https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Category:GPU_intensive_games GPU-intensive games (PCSX2 wiki)], [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-LIST-The-Most-GPU-Intensive-Games GPU-intensive games (PCSX2 forum thread)]</ref>
